Abstract

On the occasion of Terry Eagleton’s investiture with an Honorary Doctorate in the University of Santiago de Compostela in December 1999, a group of graduate students and young teachers of the Department of English Philology, supervised by J. Manuel Barbeito Varela, organised the International Seminar “Terry Eagleton or Towards a Revolutionary Criticism.” One of the sessions of the Seminar consisted of a Round Table chaired by Terry Eagleton himself in which he answered all the questions put to him by the participants. The topics dealt with in the round table had been discussed in the numerous meetings we had held during the months before the Seminar. The participants at the round table worked together for nearly a year on different aspects of Eagleton’s work both as a critic and as a playwright. The round table was structured in three sections labeled “Marxist Theory”, “The Critic and the Academia” and “Literature and Literary Theory.
